11:00 PM Arlene Update

The Tropical Prediction Center has issued its last advisory on Arlene. They acknowledge that heavy rain and flooding will still be a threat in the path of Arlene as it tracks through west central Alabama and western Tennessee.

24 Hour Rainfall reports from around the area as of 11 PM

Key Field 2.42" Wind Gust: 32 mph
Golden Triangle Regional Airport 4.85" Wind Gust: 28 mph
Jackson International Airport 0.15" Wind Gust: 20 mph
Tuscaloosa Municipal Airport 0.89" Wind Gust: 25 mph

Looks like GTR saw more rain than Pensacola, FL!

Heaviest rainfall at this hour is in Noxubee, Kemper, and Sumter county. The center of what once was Arlene is roughly around the Demopolis area. It should cross I-20/59 between Tuscaloosa and Meridian during the overnight hours tonight.

Flood warnings remain in effect for Neshoba County in Mississippi and Sumter, Greene, and Marengo Counties in Alabama. Flooding is possible along the Upper Pearl, Tombigbee, and Black Warrior River basins.

The Wind Advisory will expire in Mississippi at 1 AM. The NWS in Birmingham is allowing their Wind Advisory to expire at 12 AM. The Flood Watch will be in effect until 7 AM Sunday morning.

The best news we have is no damage reports other than reports of heavy rainfall and street flooding. We escape Arlene without many problems, but it was definitely a kickoff to what is said will be a very active hurricane season. Stay tuned!
